March 14th, Despacho Ceremony
Despacho Ceremony
Christophe Leroy of Sacred Hoop Healing Ways will be hosting a Despacho Ceremony on March 14, 2010 to celebrate healing and support Street Yoga.
Come help Street Yoga manifest their programs for 2010, while you help manifest your own dreams through a powerful ceremony of gratitude, release, and creation.
- Release old patterns and stagnant energy
- offer thanks to the gifts and lessons you have experienced recently
- welcome in new intentions and willingness to step into new paths
- reflect on where -- and who -- you are and what direction you wish to take
A despacho is a prayer mandala in the Andean spiritual tradition of Peru. Despachos are created to release the old and bring in the new: “despachar” means to “send off” or “release.” We will be creating an "ayni" despacho to bring harmony and abundance to our lives and communities. To come into "ayni" means to come into right relationship with one another, our families, our communities, and the world. When complete, a despacho is a beautiful work of art, a mandala alive with energy, filled with love, and pregnant with healing, blessings, and abundance. The event will take place at Sellwood Yoga and is open to all, and free for children.
Cristophe is an energy healing practitioner whose practice is based on shamanic traditions of the Andes. For more information about Cristophe and his work, visit his blog. You can also find information about the Cristophe's practise at the Awakening Wellness Center website.
